Kellogg's has killed Product 19!

You were the only one.

Never heard of it. What made it unique?

They killed a cereal I liked in the 1990s. I don't remember its name. It came in a white box with blue lettering. It was a mix of different grains, I think mostly corn. And it had almonds and raisins. It was addictive, so I stopped eating it. So they stopped making it.

Fat mongrel bitches

I wonder how many Products they tested before coming up with this one?

Kellogg's kills the product that kills

r5

About six times as many tries as I did before I wrote "I'll Tumble 4 U"

I would love to have original Special K cereal with the smaller, crispy flakes back. Now they're giant flat flakes like every other boring cereal.

[quote]"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't discontinue this cereal," one fan wrote on Kellogg's community boards a few months ago. "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cereal!"

Would someone please tell the MARY! to just buy Total?

My mother used to buy this - they didn't put much effort into naming it. I always thought it was funny.

Bigg Mixx, r3. It was great.

I always preferred Product 20.

Its got 1 more

I agree - I miss the "Old" Special K. The new one is also instant soggy.

Do they still make the corn flakes with dried banana bits? They made it in the early '60s , then brought it back recently.

Yo, what the fuck is this mascot? It's like a moose with a pig snout and rooster head?

[quote]Would someone please tell the MARY! to just buy Total?

Total is wheat, Product 19 has a lot of different grains. I had forgotten about the original Specialized

Remember Tide XK?

Cereal is gross.

I think it's gross with milk. On the rare (2x a year) occasion I eat cereal, I use apple cider. Milk just grosses me out.

I still miss Post Fortified Oat Flakes.

I miss Quaker Puffed Rice.

Cereal killers

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackk! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I WONDERED why I haven't seen it on the shelves of my smalltown, small chain, grocery store in quite a while. DAMN!!

What the hell happened to Pep???

R18, I loved them too!

It's back

It's been years, but if R3 is still here, I think he's talking about Bigg Mixx. That stuff was amazing.

Also, I think R24 is trolling.

Good advertising could have saved it.

All of their cereals look and taste alike. Who cares about this one?

Product 19 is delicious, dammit.

I like fruity pebbles

[quote]I think it's gross with milk. On the rare (2x a year) occasion I eat cereal, I use apple cider. Milk just grosses me out.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

What about King Vitamin?

I liked Niagara Shredded Wheat

"Cereal killers"

I barely grazed it with my car!

R33 beeech! I thought you revived this 2016 thread to at least make a covid 19 joke!

That's the real reason for discontinuing it -The name reminds people of Covid 19.

Em it's 'a Mixx', R14

Never had Product 19 but this thread is really making me want to try some Bigg Mixx.

That’s a shame. ™

I haven’t thought about Product 19 in ages. It used to be advertised on TV a lot as was Grape Nuts. I haven’t thought about that one in forever too. I don’t know if they still make it, since I rarely go down the cerise aisle I haven’t seen it.

Going on 50 years now and people still bitch about Kellogg's dropping Concentrate.

[R33], when I was ten years old in Catholic school, I ate a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats. The following day that bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats was disgorged on Carol Ann Allgeyer's black patent leather shoes. I've never been able to face them again. The Frosted Mini Wheats, not the shoes..l

Product 19 was okay, but I would get tired of a box of it soon enough.

Of the big brands, I'd pick some Total-ish brand that looked not too deadly, or maybe Wheat Chex; more likely one the grains/nuts/fruit "healthy" blends. I eat cereal only rarely so it has little impact on my diet or health.

I ate cereal daily as a child, in a time when mothers didn't hover over the cereal aisle making elaborate decisions about: gluten? vegan? nutritional analysis? eco-impact? sugar content? politics of the company that produced it? Traveling to Ireland with my parents at age 7 my parents were American obsessed with finding my favorite cereal of the moment, Kix; in any town we would have to stop in at the grocery shop to ask for Kix, which of course no one had, except one shop which had one box only and then another a week or so later. I didn't put me off cereal then, but the big ordeal made about finding my favorite and all the grumbling about "Why don't they carry the complete range of General Mills cereals in every little Irish shop of a village of 210 people?" would in time make me a more patient and accepting traveller.

They went to far with the little marshmallow bats 🦇

Too far*

This is Product 19, not Product 1. You would think that after 18 tries, Kellogg's could come up with a cereal that would last forever.

Product 19 was unique and popular when it came out since it was one of the few multigrain cereals that was higher in fiber was nutritional and it tasted good. Today there are many multigrain cereals available that fit that bill.

Feverishly 🥵 Delicious

r36 has reading comprehension issues.

Can you imagine the outcry if they tried to revive this today?

I miss Colon Blow!

r51 = Michael or Elliott?

^^ Huh?

Why not just rename it?

What happened to Product 18?

[quote]I eat cereal, I use apple cider. Milk just grosses me out.

That sounds more gross to the rest of us. Apparently someone has emotional issues with milk.

Product 19 from District 9, it's out of this world!

[quote]Can you imagine the outcry if they tried to revive this today?

I have no idea.

My grandma was always watching her weight. We'd drink Alba shakes and eat Grapenuts, then snack on Ayds candy from her purse. Then I grew old enough to read the cereal box, and learned Grapenuts had enough calories to sustain a small village. What were you thinking, Gammy?

As a kid I would sometimes put orange juice on cheerio's instead of milk, and also occasionally dunk toast in OJ instead of tea - it tastes pretty much just like OJ but crunchy - never used apple juice. The normal way to eat Cheerio's in my house was to apply a very liberal amount of Hershey's syrup to a dry bowlful and then add milk - much better chocolatey tasting cereal than Cocoa Puffs, and no doubt even worse for you. I did this in the college cafeteria from time to time and by the reactions I realized nobody but my wacky mother had ever thought of this before.

I haven't thought about Product 19 in decades. Now that I know I can't have it it's the only thing I want in the world.

Well, that and the imprisonment and eventual shivving of the former host of The Apprentice..

[quote]As a kid I would sometimes put orange juice on cheerio's instead of milk, and also occasionally dunk toast in OJ instead of tea

Again, I just threw up in my mouth. No other kids did that you freak. Stop acting like it's normal. Has no one ever told you that?

You troll so hard R62 - where did you get the concept of "this is normal" from a post about the weird food shit I did as a kid? You're not even amusing.

R63 He's just jealous that he didn't come up with the brilliant idea of Hershey's syrup in Cheerios.

Product 19 was named by the same ad agency that named Formula 409 and Preparation H.

I am not a troll R63. Orange juice or apple cider and cereal is just gross. And FYI the person who said it was throw up first was someone else.

If I put liquid on top of dry cereal and eat it, said liquid will be apple cider. Apple cider Ina would approve of, you may be certain, but yes, apple cider. What's 'just gross,' r66, is milk.

You have a screw lose R67. Show me a cereal package or commercial where they pour apple cider into the bowl full of cereal.

Cereal is garbage food

r14, that's the future of farming!!!

Bring back Start cereal .Only thing similar was Aldi's own brand but it has also been discontinued .They seemed to have a savoury taste almost like bacon and stayed crunchy for ages.

[quote] apple cider and cereal is just gross

It most certainly is not. I do that all the time. It tastes delightful.

There's no accounting for taste.

They are just going to rename it to Product 16 to better appeal to its Conservative base.

Last year General Mills quietly killed Quaker Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice.

I want to know what other disgusting crap the ‘cider in cereal’ people voluntarily eat.

I think we now have a new official troll, the Cider in Cereal Troll. In the same category as the Wash My Pasta Troll and the Breakfast Sausage in Lasagna Troll.

We were working class. We ate Cap'n Crunch. I loved it 😍!

[quote]I think we now have a new official troll, the Cider in Cereal Troll.

Does this refer to the persons—there are at least two of us—who prefer to eat dry cereal with apple cider, or to the cunt who's making fun of us?

Block the disingenuous cider troll. He's just doing it to annoy.

[quote]I want to know what other disgusting crap the ‘cider in cereal’ people voluntarily eat.

I eat disgusting things like lasagne alla bolognese, roast chicken with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, salmon at least once a week, other pasta dishes, often with Marcella's tomato, butter, and onion sauce, or else bolognese or marinara, over which I grate Parmigiano-Reggiano. I usually drink San Pellegrino or iced tea, coffee in the morning.

I hardly ever eat dry cereal. I don't know why you've seized on this tiny little preference. Are you YMF? (Remember her Talenti diatribe?)

R41, I loved Kellogg's Concentrate and I wish they would bring it back.

The pasta straining troll was a whole other level, but this cider thing is definitely "Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage in lasange" level.

I hate it when this thread gets bumped because it always reminds me of Product 19 and that it was discontinued years ago.

* lasagne

I'm gonna get yelled at for that, probably.

Product 19 is people!

IT'S PEOPLE!

IT'S PEOPLE!

They're coming up with Product 20, y'all.

R81 Chicken should be served with rice, not potatoes. Now we know why you have a personal troll.

Not if you like potatoes, r87, and couldn't give a fuck about rice. Please go bathe in cider.

R64 - my mom came up with Hershey’s syrup on Cheerios when she was a kid in the 40s. Growing up I thought it was a common thing - didn’t find out it was weird until I did it in the college dining hall. I asked her about it, and she said she made it up. She agrees that chocolate makes everything better - when she woke up after cancer surgery her first worlds were “Get me coffee and a Mounds bar.”

They make Chocolate Cheerios now. and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios too.

Would you put apple cider on Apple Jacks, or would that be overkill?

I'm gonna be ill.

To the cider guy: Who's pissed in your cornflakes?

R88 has NO sense of humor.
